Ah, yes. But ever so much safer. The nitpickers wouldn't be able to cite the wrong word or pronunciation or etc.

And the stockholders wouldn't learn nearly as much.

The one adjective I left off my descriptive list about JR was optimist - which is the cause of most of the complaints on this board. Apparently, when he's talking, the best case scenario is the one he describes. Of course we all know that the best case almost never happens. It always takes longer than it should. The problem is that it hurts his credibility. I'd prefer if he'd automatically double any time estimates. That way he'd normally come in aheads of schedule and look good.

When I started out designing and writing software systems I used to double my estimate before telling my boss. He doubled it again before telling his boss. I had a reputation of delivering right on schedule. Perfect estimates every time!
